Blakes 7

We watched the first three episodes of the 1973 show Blakes 7 a couple of days ago.

I really enjoyed it because:
- it's pure classic sci fi from the same man who brought us Daleks
- the main characters sometimes die (and don't come back)
- the main characters have character, Avon would sell them all out for a petty reward
- the BBC Radiophonic Workshop sounds
- the guard on the prison ship offering concessions in exchange for certain 'favours' from a female prisoner - nicely dispels the myth that the world was a nicer place in decades past!
- the american guard on the prison ship (I didn't say Abu Ghraib!)
- even SWMBO enjoyed it!

Where do they find Orac (the terse, short tempered, sarcastic, mobile supercomputer)? Can't wait to find out.
